43. IGA WITH HIGLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TEACHER POWERED SCHOOL NETWORK Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Higley Unified School District, No. 60 for the purpose of providing participation in the Maricopa County Teacher Powered School Network (“MCTPSN” or “The Network”). The IGA shall become effective upon execution by the last signer and shall expire on September 30, 2024. The MCTPSN is designed to address the recruitment and retention crisis in Arizona through the strengthening of strategies, practices, and structures that have been correlated with low teacher turnover. The Parties agree to cooperate and assist each other as they explore ways to strengthen collaborative practices, elevate teacher voice, and create a regional TPS network. Funding, in the amount of $675,000 for the MCTPSN, is provided by the Arizona Department of Education through an ESSER LEA Capacity Building Support Grant. Maricopa County is authorized to enter into this IGA under A.R.S. §11-952 for the purposes of exercising joint powers or contracting for services. (C-37-24-003-X-00)
